A sincere and genuine thank-you to all those families who have paid their AVC (Annual Voluntary Contribution) this year.

The 2022 Prefect team came in to school to meet with Mrs Harris on Monday.

Having already won the Otago Science Fair, attended the 2020 Royal Society Powering Potential workshop, achieved a Silver Crest award, established STEM blues at Columba, and generally excelled in all manner of scientific endeavours, students Olivia Charles and Maia Robertson were looking for their next challenge.

Lily and Riley will work to support the Head Prefect, Helen Li, next year, deputise for her when she is away, run the student council and help to drive prefect projects and initiatives throughout the College. They will need to have excellent communication skills, deep reserves of patience, superior organisational strategies and be flexible enough to pick up a task with a minute's notice...all without missing a beat!

As we prepare for Christmas, there are a number of things that we need to do differently this year. Attached is a simple resource that you can do as a family during Advent.

Out of 200 teams competing in the initial, online rounds, our Y10 teams qualified to attend the finals at the Otago Museum today.

Congratulations to the Columba Junior 1 team who took out the Dunedin Schools Debating Junior Finals on Monday.

Outram, via Mosgiel, Fairfield and Green Island, along with a service from Brighton and Waldronville will no longer be available in 2022.

Students in Years 0-1, 3 and 5 went for a walk to Kaikorai Reserve today. The students enjoyed making daisy chains and picking buttercups.

On the last day of school for the senior students, the International Department had a “Good Luck and Merry Christmas” shared lunch.

Success for two talented students as winners in the national 'Re-Draft' competition.

Last weekend, Columba College achieved amazing results at the 2021 Aerobics Nationals.

Are you looking for an early Christmas present idea? Well, look no further... Columba College Sports Council has the perfect gift idea for your entire family to enjoy.

The Columba College 10A volleyball team rounded off a superb year by winning the Otago Junior Secondary Schools Volleyball Championship in style recently, with the team not even losing a set all weekend. What a performance by this team of young athletes from Columba College!

The Southern Regional Primary and Intermediate Schools Tennis Championships were held last Friday (12th November) at the Edgar Centre. Columba College had two students represent the school at the champs, and the school is extremely impressed with their efforts.

The ICAS English results have finally arrived, after a somewhat disrupted year.

Thank you to all who contributed to a Christmas gift box or gave items at our recent kākahu kāinga (non-uniform day). These have been received gratefully by Presbyterian Support Otago.

Due to this year's Can Appeal being cancelled, The Hits Breakfast Show with Callum & P have teamed up with Rotary Club of Dunedin and Lions Club to hold their own!

Monday 13th – Friday 17th December 2021: 8am - 6pm Daily

It is with much excitement that the Columba College Sports Council announces a new date for the annual Columba Golf Tournament, Friday 25 February 2022.
